Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight #3

A battered, bloodied Batman presses forward in the foreground, jaw clenched and cape swept back, while a gallery of grotesque, stitched-together villains looms behind him in shades of steel blue and shadow — it's a cover that radiates real menace. Rafael Albuquerque's artwork does a wonderful job of making Gotham's rogues feel genuinely unsettling, their scarred faces and mechanical implants crowding the Dark Knight from every angle. Volume 3 of this 2015 anthology series brings together the talents of Paul Jenkins, Peter Milligan, and more, promising a rich collection of varied Batman stories under one cover.
